Control
I tried to control my drinking. Then, I tried to control my sobriety. A month ago I gave my control away.

It was a brilliant decision!

Not in control, not cured just hopeful.

Hey!

My sobriety day was 35 days ago. I was just thinking out loud. Please forgive my blathering.

That was a great post! Honestly, I think that control is overrated and dangerous, these days I try to flow along instead, without losing track of my intended general direction. Easier said than done, but worth it. My juggling days are over!

Thanks for posting this
